              As expected, I didn’t get the chance to play all that often this past week due to all the preperation I’ve been doing for my move.  One day to note last week was Thursday, which I did notch a “W” in the $33k guart’d $109 cubed for a nice score of $9,240.  I remember playing this tournament and having full control over all my opponents during the final two tables leading to my outright win.  This score was definately a big confidence booster going into the WSOP and also bumping up my bankroll a reasonable amount.  I skipped out on all the weekend tournaments and Sunday majors because I had tons to do this weekend.

              I am now three days away from moving to Vegas for the WSOP.  I’ve gotten a lot of my errands done and just have a few dinners to attend these last few days.  As the time is getting really close I feel myself getting more excited, anxious, and even a little timid because of not knowing how my living arrangements will go since it’ll be my first time staying in a hotel/casino for such a long period of time.  I’m sure everything will just fall into place but even though it’s a few days away it feels like there is so much to do just to settle in.  I fly in on Thurs. night and the plan is to try and rent a car once I arrive at the airport, drive myself to the Rio, check-in and do some un-packing, get some early rest.  Wake up on Fri. morning and just run errands all day to settle in, maybe I’ll be able to get some poker in later at night just to get the hang of playing live again.  Sleep early and wake up early Sat. morning to play my first event which is the WSOP $1000 buy-in “Stimulus” Event #4.  Probably won’t go exactly as planned but will do my best to follow through. 

              Be prepared to not expect so many blog entry posts as I will be playing a lot less online poker and have less time to be online for that matter.  I am still working on setting up my Twitter account so that I could update everyone real-time on my status and progress using my cell phone.  I will probably get that up and running before I leave and will provide everyone on the details when I do.  I’ll also do one more blog post right before I leave, until then, thanks to everyone who’s been supporting me and wishing me luck up until this point.  My only promises is that I can only get better from here and will do my best to perform to my utmost ability at the WSOP.  Carpe Diem!
